    UmbracoIdentity - How do you programatically login a member?

    I've looked through the package's code, and cannot seem to piece together what is needed to do this.

    If I have the IMember object, how does one programmatically log the member in so that all downstream code and pages carry the authenticated member?

    You use the MembershipHelper to log in a member, passing it the username and password of the member logging in.

    Members.Login(username, password)

    So how do you know they are a valid member?

    You need to write a formsauthentication cookie, but you will still need a username to do that, so you will need to get that using your imember object

    Check https://github.com/Shazwazza/UmbracoIdentity/blob/e5af79578de92aa335ba5dbfb594ba9f6ad9173e/src/UmbracoIdentity.Web/App_Start/Controllers/UmbracoIdentityAccountController.cs#L74 , loginInfo contains the username.

    Depending on the type of external authentication, the username can be returned in loginInfo.DefaultUserName or in loginInfo.Login.ProviderKey

    We do this:

        string username = string.Empty;
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(loginInfo.DefaultUserName))
    {
        username = loginInfo.DefaultUserName;
    } 
    else if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(loginInfo.Login.ProviderKey))
    {
        username = loginInfo.Login.ProviderKey;
    }

    //find member by username
    var member = await UserManager.FindByNameAsync(username);
     if (member != null && Services.MemberService.GetById(member.Id).IsApproved)
     {
          await SignInAsync(member, isPersistent: false);
          return RedirectToLocal(returnUrl);
     }

    Hmm, that is what I was doing (but inline). Perhaps my logic is in the code that determines whether you are logged in. Does this look right?

        var loggedInUser = Context.GetOwinContext().Authentication.User;
bool bIsAuthenticated = false;
string userName = "";
if (loggedInUser != null)
{
    bIsAuthenticated = loggedInUser.Identity.IsAuthenticated;
    userName = loggedInUser.Identity.Name;
}

bool bIsLoggedin = Members.IsLoggedIn(); // Old way without OWIN/Identity extensions

    The bIsAuthenticated results in false, and the userName is not set either... additionally, the old way does also not realize that the user is logged in.

    Try

    var loggedInUser = Request.GetOwinContext().Authentication.User;
